Towel Animals Delight

“During our stay at Ala Kai, my daughter looked forward to the adorable towel animals left by housekeeping each day. It was a charming touch that made our vacation even more special, and it added an element of fun for the kids! We loved coming back to our room after a day at the beach to see what surprise awaited us.” view full review

We had a great experience at the Ala Kai Motel, which offered a clean and comfortable atmosphere with a lovely pool just a quick walk to the beach. The staff was fantastic, and the daily housekeeping was a nice touch with fresh towels and even towel animals for the kids. However, parking can be tricky, especially during busy times, and the bathrooms felt a bit outdated. Overall, it's a wonderful family-friendly spot with a nostalgic charm.

My stay at the Ala Kai motel was like a trip down memory lane! I've been coming here since I was young, and it never disappoints. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to the beach, and the staff has always treated us with kindness. While the pool closes at 6, it's well-maintained and a hit with families. The only suggestion I have is for some late-night refreshments, as it would be nice to have water on hand after a long drive. Overall, I couldn't recommend this place enough for a classic and enjoyable vacation experience!

My stay at the motel had its ups and downs. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach, and the old-school charm of the place is delightful. However, the facilities show signs of age, and the parking situation was quite frustrating. Overall, it's a decent place to stay when considering the reasonable rates, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.
